Slant six builders...Lets talk Cams

huh. Interesting. I actually have a set of stock 318 valves here. have to scope it out/ have read/heard many places, that the /6 actually went to stock 318 springs as std replacement..... valves and springs came from a supposed lo mile set of '302 (casting number) 318 heads from a member here (I forget who)

Also, believe it or not, I've found that on every slant six head I've had so far, the 1.550" diameter big block springs will drop right into the stock spring pockets. They're pretty generous. So if you really wanted some serious camshaft, you could get like .100 longer valves and put a real spring in there.
